The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has increased petrol price to N992 per litre in Lagos, and N955 per litre in Abuja.
On Monday, TheCable observed that the new price has taken effect across several NNPCL retail outlets in both cities.
The price hike reflects an increase of N127 in Lagos from the previous rate of N865 per litre, and a N65 increase in Abuja from the previous price of N890 per litre.
At the NNPCL filling station in Ago Palace in Lagos, the price of petrol increased to N992 per litre.
In Abuja, the product sells for N955 per litre at the NNPCL outlet in the Federal Housing Authority, Kubwa, while another station along Komolafe Road, Lugbe, increased the commodity to N955 per litre.
The adjustment marks a reversal of the price reduction implemented on 15 August, when NNPCL lowered petrol prices to N865 per litre in Lagos and N890 per litre in Abuja.
